Aperture #2


1. Give 3 reasons/scenarios why you would need to use a Wide Aperture(F3.5)
  • If you are taking a photo and want the background to be out of focus.
  • If you want to expose the photo to more light opening the aperture will allow that.
  • If you need to capture a motion image you want a quicker shutter and wider aperture.
2. Give 3 reasons/scenarios why you would need to use a Small Aperture (F22)
  • When capturing a photo that you want the back and foreground to be in focus.
  • When using a smaller aperture the shutter is slower, but allows for more shadows.
  • When shooting in well-lighted areas a small aperture will help you snap a more detailed photo.
3. When using a slow shutter speed in a low light situation, list two ways to prevent your pictures from having a motion blur due to a shaky camera.
  • When shooting in low light situations using tri-pod helps lower the risk of a shaky hand, when you have a slow shutter speed.
  • If you use a flash in a low light situation it helps catch more light which will minimize the risk of motion blur.
